I've owned or used motor homes, 5th wheel, and bumper hitch RV trailers, and am convinced that pulling is MUCH more influenced by air drag resistance than weight or design. Obviously, a nice aerodynamic unit will pull much easier than a boxey trailer - either bumper hitch or 5th wheel, or a boxey, square fronted, tall truck mounted camper. My Dad pulled a 28ft Argosy all over the western US with a 1992 Chevy Suburban 1/2 ton with a 350 - -not a real ultralite trailer, but very aerodynamic. I've got a 30' Award made in Canada, weighs 4200 lbs, and think I could pull it with a Ford Explorer - but use only a 1/2 ton or larger vehicle just for more stability and stopping power. I think you have enough pickup mass, braking capacity, and size to be stable, presuming you use either an aerodynamic and liteweight 5th wheel or similar bumper hitch with anti-sway bars and weight distribution hitch, and have good trailer brake system. I'd really suggest a good used Airstream, Argosy, or Award aerodynamic trailer design - -somewhere in the 25'-30" MAX length, (as there will be rainey days where everyone will need to be inside!!), with a load-leveling and anti-sway hitch, and have the trailer brakes inspected well! You probably can buy a new "box" trailer cheaper than these used units - -but, I really think their quality and aerodynamics more than make up for being used. Plus, they tend to re-sell well on down the road.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
